Must-See Sites in Tamil Nadu

Kanchipuram

Known as the “City of a Thousand Temples,” Kanchipuram was once the capital of the Pallava dynasty when the great stone monuments of Mamallapuram were created. Today, it is known for beautiful structures that stood the test of time and shows the intricacy of old Indian architecture. Ekambareswarar Temple is dedicated to Lord Shiva and was created in 1509. The temple doors are nearly 40 feet tall and a 3500-year old mango tree stands within its complex. Kamakashi Amman Temple, on the other hand, is dedicated to Goddess Shakti and is constructed around five acres of land.

Chennai

The capital city of Tamil Nadu, Chennai is a bustling city filled with the old and new. It is known as the soul of South India where you can experience India’s rich religious, artistic and culinary traditions. Head to Mylapore for a taste of old India and visit Kapaleeshwarar Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. Visit the Madras High Court to see unique red Indo-Saracenic architecture. And for a true taste of Indian art, don’t forget to stop by Cholamandal Artists’ Village where you can see an extraordinary collection of sculptures and paintings from local artists.

Madurai

If you were to see only one temple in South India, make it the Meenakshi Temple in Madurai. This beautiful work for art is 3,500 years old and covers 15 acres of land, has 12 towers and 4,500 pillars. Its southern tower is 170 feet high and houses two shrines dedicated to Lord Shiva and Goddess Meenakshi. Book holiday packages to Madurai in April to experience the Chithirai Festival.
